Felébresztett

Felébresztett is a Hungarian verb form meaning “awakened” or “woke someone up.” It is the past tense form of the transitive verb felébreszt, which means to wake someone up or to arouse. The prefix fel- adds a causative nuance, and the root ébreszt carries the sense of waking. As a finite verb form, felébresztett is used with a subject that performs the action and a direct object representing the person who is awakened.

In ordinary usage, felébresztett describes a concrete waking event—for example, a noise or alarm that woke someone. It can also appear in metaphorical contexts to describe the awakening of interest, awareness, or emotion. The form is common in narrative prose, news writing, and everyday speech when recounting past awakenings.

The word is part of a small family built around the concept of waking and awakening. Related terms include ébresztés (the act of waking), felébreszt (to wake someone up), and ébredés (awakening or waking up intransitively). Hungarian morphology allows felébresztett to function within different sentence patterns depending on person, definiteness, and tense, making it a versatile option for describing past acts of waking.
